Autistic people are at increased risk of experiencing self-harm compared to the general population. However, it is unclear which tools are being used to assess self-harm in autistic people, or whether existing tools need to be adapted for this group. This two-stage systematic review aimed to identify tools used to assess self-harm in autistic and general population adults, evaluate these tools on their

Executive functioning in antisocial behavior: A multi-level systematic meta-analysis Clin. Psychol. Rev. (IF 12.8) Pub Date : 2024-02-23 Jochem Milan Jansen, Melanie Elisabeth Franse
Neurobiological information – including executive function – is increasingly relevant for forensic clinical practice, as well as for the criminal justice system. Previous meta-analyses report that antisocial populations show impaired performance on executive functioning tasks, but these meta-analyses are outdated, have limitations in their methodological approach, and are therefore in need of an update

Meta-analysis of the implied distribution of callous-unemotional traits across sampling methods and informant Clin. Psychol. Rev. (IF 12.8) Pub Date : 2024-02-21 Arthur Kary, Caroline Moul
Callous-unemotional (CU) traits have been measured in a variety of sample-types (e.g., community or forensic) and from the perspective of different informants (e.g., self-report or parent-report) using the inventory of callous-unemotional traits total score (ICU-T). Although the positive association between CU traits and antisocial behavior is uncontroversial, the degree to which sample-types are different

A systematic review and meta-synthesis on perspectives of autistic young people and their parents on psychological well-being Clin. Psychol. Rev. (IF 12.8) Pub Date : 2024-02-20 Kate Cooper, Sanjay Kumarendran, Manuela Barona
Autistic adolescents are at increased risk of developing mental health problems. Improving psychological well-being could reduce the likelihood of such problems developing. Research has tended to prioritise the voices of non-autistic people and has neglected to consult autistic young people themselves. Our meta-synthesis aimed to systematically review qualitative research on the perspectives of autistic

Mentalizing in and out of awareness: A meta-analytic review of implicit and explicit mentalizing Clin. Psychol. Rev. (IF 12.8) Pub Date : 2024-01-30 Yogev Kivity, Kenneth N. Levy, Benjamin N. Johnson, Lia K. Rosenstein, James M. LeBreton
Background Mentalizing, making sense of mental states, is hypothesized to have a central role in self-organization and social learning. Findings support this notion, but the extent of the association between mentalizing and various correlates has not been meta-analyzed. Furthermore, mentalizing presumably occurs with (explicit) and without (implicit) awareness but few studies have attempted to disentangle

Vague sensations. About the background and consequences of discordance between actual and perceived physiological changes Clin. Psychol. Rev. (IF 12.8) Pub Date : 2024-01-09 Ferenc Köteles
Empirical evidence consistently shows that discordance, also called dissociation or discrepancy, between actual physiological (mainly visceral) events and their perceived counterparts is substantial. On the one hand, we typically do not perceive actual visceral events occurring in our bodies; on the other hand, sometimes we do perceive bodily changes that do not really take place.

Affective forecasting and psychopathology: A scoping review Clin. Psychol. Rev. (IF 12.8) Pub Date : 2024-01-14 Jala Rizeq
Affective forecasting – estimations of future emotional reactions – is an important aspect of future thinking that informs judgement and decision making. Biases in affective forecasting have been noted generally and with people with emotional disturbances specifically.

Mentalizing is the human capacity to understand actions of others and one's own behavior in terms of intentional mental states, such as feelings, wishes, goals and desires. Mentalizing is a transtheoretical and transdiagnostic concept that has been applied to understanding vulnerability to psychopathology and has attracted considerable research attention over the past decades.

Background The diagnosis Prolonged Grief Disorder (PGD) has recently been included in ICD-11 and DSM-5-TR. To identify individuals who need help coping with grief, knowledge is needed about who is at risk of developing PGD. We, therefore, conducted a comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis of the available literature on risk factors for prolonged grief symptoms (PGS). Methods Based on a literature

Jordans, Marianna Purgato
Psychosocial interventions play a key role in addressing mental health and substance use needs for children and adolescents living in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). While research efforts have primarily focused on their effectiveness, implementation outcomes also require examining.

Current conceptualizations of control-related beliefs in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) have largely been limited to beliefs about the need to control thoughts. Although growing evidence supports the notion of considering broader control-related constructs in this disorder, there has been limited research aimed at integrating findings across studies, making it difficult to determine how different

What is a psychopathology dimension? Clin. Psychol. Rev. (IF 12.8) Pub Date : 2023-11-03 Christopher J. Hopwood, Leslie C. Morey, Kristian E. Markon
Coherence in the science and practice of mental health assessment depends upon a tight connection between psychopathology concepts that are used and the way those concepts are operationalized and defined. In contrast, the use of the same word to mean more than one thing contributes to incoherence, inefficiency, and confusion. In this paper, we review three possible meanings of the word “dimension”

Illusory posttraumatic growth is common, but genuine posttraumatic growth is rare: A critical review and suggestions for a path forward Clin. Psychol. Rev. (IF 12.8) Pub Date : 2023-06-05 Adriel Boals

I begin by reviewing extant research on PTG, with a focus on measurement and conceptual issues. Expanding on arguments made by others, I distinguish between three forms of PTG, 1) perceived PTG, which is an individual's
